0 students). The mean was calculated to be 75%.
a. Draw the possible distribution curve. Clearly indicate the direction of the skew.
On your diagram label the relative position of the mean, median, and mode.
viduals differ from people in general in remembering threatening information. The memory performance of an individual for negative words was measured and was found to have a score of 48. The population average is 34 with a standard deviation of 9. At the 5% level of significance what should you conclude about whether clinically anxious individuals have a tendency to remember threatening words?
(a) Clearly state null and research hypotheses in terms of the mean scores on the memory performance on negative words, μ, of anxious individuals.
(b) What is the comparison distribution for the sample’s Z score?
(c) What are the cut-off values for a test with significance level 0.05?
(d) What is the observed Z score?
(e) What is your conclusion?
An educational psychologist was interested in whether children who grow up in bilingual settings have an advantage of distraction resistance compared with children in general. The distraction resistance test was administered to a randomly chosen child with bilingual upbringing background who was found to have a score of 69. The population average is 60 with a standard deviation of 3. Do children with bilingual upbringing background score higher on distraction resistance test than children in general? Use the 1% level of significance.
(a) Clearly state null and research hypotheses in terms of the mean scores on distraction resistance, μ, of children with bilingual upbringing.
(b) What is the comparison distribution for the sample’s Z score?
(c) What are the cut-off values for a test with significance level 0.01?
(d) What is the observed Z score?
(e) What is your conclusion?
